    1. As a medical doctor that needs to do basic math to figure out dosages or dilutions, he’s a fucking hack

      Sad when the people running our government can’t even handle elementary school math… Ffs…

    3. The US will never beat the accusations that its education system is terrible. If the people in charge are this dumb, how much more are the people who put them there?

    4. HOW IS THIS OUR REALITY HOW ARE THESE PEOPLE IN CHARGE OF EVEN THEMSELVES LET ALONE AN ENTIRE COUNTRY

    5. Without a calculator or looking it up, straight off the top of my head that’s about 95% savings. Which is great. Why not just put it out there like that and celebrate the victory? Otherwise, youre just another lying grifter. Oh wait…

      I am tired. Seriously. I truly believe they troll us. If he is a doctor, which I assume a smart person, he surely had to pass high school math, and even calculus intro.
      To say 240 to 13 is incalculable is either he cheated his way through med school or the US Ed is reeeeeaaalyyyy bad, or both.

    7. What a moron. Can’t subtract 2 numbers and divide by the original number.

      Percent decrease = difference in value/original value

      therefore:

      Percent decrease = ($242-$10)/$242

      $232/$242

      95.8%

      There was a 95.8% decrease in price (if the values in the quote are correct).

      Can a reporter please ask these people, ‘you don’t know how to use a calculator? ChatGPT could do that for you’

      And he’s supposed to be a doctor. Don’t they do percent calculations pretty often?

    10. He knows what the real percentage is, but he can’t bring himself to say it’s “down over 2000%” like Trump would want him to say, so he’s pretending not to know.

      Give him a break. He’s a brilliant doctor who has been malpracticing for over 30 years.

    12. Hey chatgpt.. if I have a product that’s discounted from $242 to $10… 

      Etc. 

      You don’t even need to hurt your thumbs. 

    13. It kinda sounds like he’s making it seem more grandiose. “it’s too high to calculate it’s THAT good”

      Because Trump is a child who needs grandiose words.

    14. 242-232=10

      232/242=0.959

      0.959×100=95.9

      the reduction is 95.9%

      I don’t doubt that a tv doctor is bad at basic math, but the pandering is next-level brown nosing so enthusiastic that I’m surprised his whole face isn’t covered in shit.

    15. According to lutnick, this is 2420% decrease. Because if you increased the price to the original, it would be 24.2x more. 💀

      Meanwhile *accountants and nurses* are the ones not worthy of having “professional degrees.”

      K.

      Mediocre white men are killing this country.
